    Why does auto calibration fail on RKI Instruments Security Sensors?
    • J
      Julian MosleySep 7, 2025
      If auto calibration fails or you're unable to set the response readings during single calibration on your RKI Instruments Security Sensors, it could be due to several factors. Check all calibration tubing for leaks or bad connections. The CO filter might be saturated, so replace it. Ensure the GX-2012 has been properly set up for calibration and verify that the calibration cylinder contains an adequate supply of fresh test sample. If the issue persists, the sensor for the affected channel(s) may need replacement.
